A sliding window for a building includes a stationary frame, an opening leaf, a motorized drive device, a fittings system, and a locking control device. The motorized drive device includes an electromechanical actuator, a flexible element, and a drive arm. The flexible element drives movement of the opening leaf with respect to the stationary frame when the actuator is electrically activated. The arm is connected both to a frame of the opening leaf and to the flexible element. The locking control device collaborates with a lock of the fittings system and is actuated by the flexible element when the actuator is electrically activated. The drive arm supports the locking control device. The fittings system also includes an errorproofing system. The locking control device actuates the lock following activation of the errorproofing system and when the actuator is electrically activated.

Disclosed is a sliding window for a building, including a frame, an opening member and a motorized drive device. The device includes an electromechanical actuator, a flexible element and a pulley for winding the flexible element. The pulley is rotated by an output shaft of the actuator. One end of a first strand of the flexible element connects to a first portion of the pulley. One end of a second strand of the flexible element connects to a second portion of the pulley. The pulley and the output shaft have the same axis of rotation. The device also includes a first angle transmission mechanism engaging the first strand, so as to guide the first strand relative to the first portion of the pulley, and a second angle transmission mechanism engaging with the second strand, so as to guide the second strand relative to the second portion of the pulley.

The invention relates to a screen device () comprising a screen () movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, bearing on a load bar (), and motorized by an installation comprising at least two winding units (), each comprising a winding coil () associated with a driving gear motor (), the winding coils () being guided to rotate relative to the box () mechanically independently from one another. A control circuit () synchronizes the two winding units () by driving each gear motor () so as to ensure the horizontal position of the load bar. To that end, the control circuit () is connected to one or more sensors (), for example accelerometers, delivering a signal representative of the levelness of the load bar.

In order to control the light or air permeability of an elastic extensible screen () disposed between an area to be protected and an external area, and having a permeability that varies with a pulling force exerted on the screen, a motorized mechanism () adjusts the pulling force on the screen in response to a setpoint signal, which can be determined on the basis of one or a plurality of signals from one or a plurality of sensors (), in particular light sensors.

Method for controlling an elastic extensible screen having a variable degree of opening and suitable control device

The invention relates to an electric motor having a rotor and a coiled stator, the rotor including a shaft and two disks that are rotatably fixed to the shaft and provided with permanent magnets, an outer portion of the stator extending from each disk axially parallel to a rotational axis of the rotor and radially beyond same, from the axis. The stator includes a plurality of disjointed bars made of a magnetically conductive material, certain parts of which form the outer portion of the stator. The stator also has a carrier structure holding the bars such that they are fixed in relation to each other, the carrier structure being mounted in such a way that it can rotate on the shaft, axially outside the two disks. The outer portion of the stator extends parallel to the rotational axis, axially outside the disks of the rotor, up to the carrier structure.

A motor-driven carriage () for opening/closing a curtain, includes a housing () that is provided with two members () for suspending the housing from a rail (), wherein a friction wheel (), which is driven by an electric motor and which is to contact at least one rolling surface () of the rail, is rotatably mounted inside the housing. The carriage () also includes a cradle () provided with two other members () for suspending the cradle from the rail (), which are separate from the members () for suspending the housing (), as well as elements () for coupling to the curtain. The cradle is mounted onto the housing () and is driven by the housing when the latter moves along the rail, the housing () and the cradle () optionally being capable of relative movement there between.

Motor-driven carriage, and blackout equipment including such a carriage

A motorized carriage for opening/closing a screen moves along a rail by means of a friction wheel that is rotated by a motor and is in contact with at least one running surface of the rail. The contact force between the friction wheel and the running surface can be regulated by a presser means that enables the contact force to be varied according to a resistive force that depends on the load pulled or pushed by the carriage as it moves.

A braking magnet is attached to the housing of a motor of a motorized component such as a window covering. With this structure the motor is braked from turning under the weight of the window covering when deenergized.

Magnetic brake for window covering powered by DC motor

A position sensor generates a signal representative of the angular position and, if desired, angular velocity of a rotating object using only a single circular track and plural brushes that ride on the track when the object rotates. The single circular track can have plural segments, and the sensor can generate more than one signal cycle per revolution.

Single track brush-based position encoder for rotating shaft

The position and speed and, in some embodiments, direction of rotation of a motor for turning the rod of an object such as a window covering is determined by placing a braking magnet next to the motor and a piezoelectric element between the braking magnet and motor. As the motor rotates, the piezoelectric element generates a signal that can be used to determine the speed of rotation and also the position of the motor (and, hence, the position of the object being moved). The magnet brakes the motor from turning under the weight of the object when the motor is deenergized.
